RideSafe

Q: Should we really be concerned about safe cycling?

A: From 2014 to 2015, The Straits Times reported an increase in deaths (17 as compared to 15) and injuries (increase of 17%; 590 as compared to 503) among cyclists and/or pillion riders (Source). With this rise in cycling accidents, safety and protection has never been more important.
We believe the future is bright for safe cycling with education to #RideSafe, not just among cyclists, but also among motorists, better adoption of protection measures and enhancement of cycling infrastructure.
